Closed-door meetings and ten years of council spending are set to come under the microscope tonight as Campaspe Shire councillors return to the chamber with a series of motions.

Following last month’s budget-heavy agenda, tonight’s meeting shifts focus to policymaking and progress reports, as well as a few councillor-led motions.

Cr Adrian Weston is putting forward a proposal to make councillor briefing meeting minutes available to the public.

He will be requesting minutes for typically closed-door meetings to be published for public eyes, in accordance with council’s commitment to transparency, accountability and good governance.

Cr Jessica Mitchell will be calling for a detailed report examining actual versus budgeted council spending from 2015/16 through to 2025/26.

The report she is proposing will have a year-by-year breakdown of capital works and expenditure to each township across Campaspe Shire, as well as a comparison of the spending and a clear identification of “shire-wide” or “other” spending.

For a full wrap-up of tonight's council meeting outcomes, stay tuned to Free Press online over the coming week.
